Chapter Thirty Two

"I must have slept for an eternity." Munzi said rousing Adrian from his daze. He was seated on a high stool in the kitchen just looking outside the window. He looked back smiling at her just from bed face and hair.

"Why do you say that?" He asked turning to take her onto his lap.

"Because the food is ready and there's music in the background." She said adjusting her short stature so that her legs were dangling.

"What? You don't believe I can multitask?" He asked smiling and eagerly waiting for her response. He was sure it would be something he could laugh about.

"Multitask? Are you even sure you know what the word means?" She asked looking at his face with a fake curiosity. He laughed.

"Of course I do. It's when you have many things to do." He explained trying to hold back more laughter.

"And then?" She asked urging him to continue.

"And then you do them." He said no longer trying to hold back the laughter. She laughed along with him.

"You know, I could give you an award for being unable to do two things at the same time. Such talent shouldn't go unnoticed." She added looking at him while biting her lower lip.

"You might be right. But let's not talk right now. You haven't had anything to eat for seven hours and I plan on taking your virginity again tonight." He said placing her laughing form on the ground. He took out two plates while she sat there watching him sexily serve their food.

"This looks and smells good. And I'm sure it also tastes amazing." She said when he placed a full plate before her on the kitchen island. She started salivating as she looked at the sweet delicacies before her.

"I knew you'd be picky and indecisive so I made your favorite." He said taking his own food to sit next to her.

"And you were right. Thank you for knowing me so well and for making me the most delicious coated eggs." She said smiling at him with a mouth full of scalloped potatoes.

"Always welcome." He said smiling back at her before looking at his plate and chuckling.

"What's funny?" She asked before putting another spoonful of potatoes in her mouth.

"You." He said also eating his food.

"What about me?" She asked after pushing the half chewed food to the side of her mouth.

"You look cute with your mouth stuffed." He said biting his lower lip like he usually did when giving her a compliment.

"You're weird. I look like a potato when I'm stuffing my face." She said before stuffing her face again. This time with half a potato and a piece of steak. She paused to close her eyes and savour the flavor.

"Is it really that good?" He asked trying the combination himself.

"Like an orgasm." She replied with a smile.

"And you call me weird." He said moaning at the flavors in his mouth. She laughed.

"It's expected of me to be weird since I'm unique. But what about the great Adrian Trillionaire Mitchell?" She retorted leaning closer to him. She was planning on stealing his food since she had already finished eating all her eggs.

"You love that I'm a trillionaire." He defended himself and moved his plate closer so that she could take some eggs.

"Like you wouldn't believe. I mean, now if I wanted to go to the carnival, I know you can afford it." She said smiling more at the eggs than at the carnival.

"The carnival? That's where you want me to take you with my loads of wealth?" He asked amused.

"Yes. I want to see the men walking on sticks, ride a carousel, eat cotton candy and see the men walking in sticks again." She said looking at the distance dreamily.

"But you've been to a carnival before, right?" He asked confused. She herself was a billionaire, she could afford to rent a whole carnival if she wished it.

"I haven't been to a carnival before." She confessed a little sad but still smiling.

"Why not? You sound very excited and you light up when talking about it." He pointed out.

"I didn't have people to go with and I feel too old to go alone." She said with a sad smile.

"What about your friends?" He asked thinking about Akila and Vita.

"They're too introverted to go out to a place with so many people. And they don't like the rush." She explained taking the last nite and leaning back satisfied.

"And your sisters?" He asked. There had to be someone for her.

"We don't get together very often and when we do, it's always very vague." She explained also starting to wonder if her life was really that lonely.

"Well, don't worry. Your husband is the best so anything my queen wants, she will get." He said moving to tickle her. She had a very sensitive waist and just a few touches and she would go down, literally, in laughter.

"Stop it Adrian. I will pee my pants." She said in between laughs. She moved and twisted trying to get away from his hands and ended up on the floor.

"And ladies and gentlemen, she's back." He said offering her his hand to help her up.

"No thanks. I'm too full to get up and chase you." She declined smiling and getting comfortable on the floor.

"Can I join you." He asked.

"Please do." She answered taking his hand and pulling him down. After he was settled in the crook of her arm, she decided to start a conversation she had been worried about.

"Adrian, you remember how a few months ago, we lost a baby?" She asked running her fingers in his hair.

"Munzi, we don't have to talk about this if you don't want to." He said, thinking about how broken she had been for weeks. She still had lapses of the sadness and he didn't want her to have another one ever again.

"It's okay love. I need to talk about it because we are going to have another baby very soon." She said after taking in and releasing a very deep breath.

"Why? Did you already stop taking your birth control pills?" He asked smiling at the thought of them having a little them to take care of.

"No. I mean yes and I'm saying that I'm pregnant." She finally said it out loud. She hadn't wanted to tell him yet because of what had happened the last time. Adrian got up so fast he hit his head.

"Are you okay?" Munzi asked not bothering to get up from her position on the floor. He was a big man, he could take a little hit on the head.

"I'm fine." Adrian answered after some time.

"You said that you were pregnant, right?" He asked turning to cave her between his arms and body.

"Yes Adrian. I'm pregnant and I think it might be more than one baby. Triplets even." She replied smiling.

"We're going to be parents to multiple kids at the same time." He said smiling at her. He felt so proud of them. They had managed to survive the loss of their first baby and now they were expecting three.

"Yes we are." Munzi answered nodding her head vigorously.

"Did you already get an ultrasound?" He asked.

"I did and there were three babies. I even got the heartbeats." She answered and moved to kiss his lips.

"I love you Moon." He confessed kissing her.

"I love you too Adrian." She said and then got up. "Come on now, let me show you our unborn kids." He would have done anything for her before but at that point where she was getting up and giving him her hand, he swore he would dedicate the rest of his life to thanking the heavens for favoring him so.

"I really love you Moon." He said so hoarsely that she stopped and turned to look at him.

"Are you crying?" She asked cupping his face.

"Like a baby while we have three on the way." He admitted taking her into his arms.

"Why would you do that? Now I'm also crying." She asked hugging him even tighter.

"Because I'm so happy and I don't care if I look like a woosy right now." He replied.

"Me neither." She answered and then smiled. He felt her smile through his shirt.

"Why are you smiling? Are you laughing at me." He asked breaking the hug.

"No. I'm just thinking that this might be one of those cases where we both experience all the symptoms of pregnancy." She said praying that it would be true.

"Well, I don't care. I will gladly throw up every morning with you and have weird cravings as long as we get through this together." He said hugging her again.

"Oh man! You won't get swollen ankles like me." She complained thinking about how badly her ankles had swelled during her pregnancy with Akila's baby.

"Don't worry about that my love. When they swell, I will carry you around. I am strong." He said and she laughed. He was so cute.

"Alright. Come on now, let's go meet our babies." She said pulling him to the bedroom.
